MovieLine: In Time Review

MovieLine: Not even the most enormous movie marketing budget in the world could buy the perfect timing of Andrew Niccol’s In Time, an allegory about the disparity between the rich and the poor in this country that’s so confident it barely even bothers to masquerade as a thriller even though, supposedly, that’s the way to sell tickets. So what if the characters occasionally spout Marxist pamphleteering dialogue like “The truth is, there’s more than enough”? In Time has so much style and energy that it comes across as an act of boldness rather than just a liberal-minded tract, though of course, it’s that too. If there were ever a movie made for the 99 percent, this is it.
